    (OK.. so I have stainless float bowl screws.. so what!)
    Wasn't sure, but I knew there was something I liked about your bike.
    Some time ago I thought you would be the one to come up with “quick release engine mounts” for the XS.

    "Hey that filter cover looks nice."
    Kids can be soooo cruel
    Just for that I will not be posting any pics of the inside of the fuel tank or the polished breather cover

    BTW. Talked to a powder coating company today.
    Said he would not “bake a part with JB weld on it”
    Said to use lab metal as that’s what it’s made for.

      Eight mounting bolts and 4 driveshaft bolts... it just about is already!
